Dear Love, Stay Away (Updating)

The Melemathy Technique

(In the Kingdom of Shemod only the heir could read minds. Until now both duke Badar and king Haider could read the minds of people successfully. As it required pure intention and generous deeds for people without expecting rewards, not everyone could encompass them. This divine power is called Melemathy. Everyone knew about King Haider's Melemathy. But duke Badar's Melemathy was a hidden secret. He asked his father not to unveil his secret to avoid any future harm).

Moving to the palace

The celebration ceremony continued for 7 days. The last day had come with its wings moving across duchess Insha. The night had come to bring a new fact into the light.

As usual, Insha was at the banquet hall. This time she covered her face with a mask. She noticed every person sitting there. She had been keeping a vigilant eye on every person who was a passer-by. From the maids to official members...she was keeping a strong guard against everyone.

(Has she missed anyone? What do you think? The hall was crowded so her eyes. But one person was still far away from her eyes.)

Insha got a letter yesterday. The letter stated that a person with an "X mark " would come to the hall. If she did find him, it may lead her to new information. Impatient Insha was changing the spot of her standing by delivering tea to the guest. In this way not only she was searching for the clue but also for the man.

The envoy of Shuman was staring at Insha. He knew that something was going on there. He was smirking constantly seeing the struggle of Insha.

(That gaze of amusement on your target is really like you are gonna aim for your rival tactics. You would wait for your target to come and show its rules. But the opponent had to act first.)

Then he remembered something and unconsciously moved towards Insha. Shams noticed him. He got a little furious. He suddenly rose from his seat. He blocked the way where Insha was standing. He called a servant and picked a plate of royal cuisine.

He then moved the plate in front of him and started gulping. The envoy of Shuman looked at him with a slight frown on his face.

(Such a disgusting man! He did not know the manners of eating.)

"Do you need something, sir ?" His highness Shams tried to remain calm but he did not help to get angrier. He was gulping continuously while talking to the envoy. The envoy of Shuman gazed at him for the last time like he wanted to give him warning through eyes.

"I think I left something important on that side. " The envoy of Shuman said and then he took the plate of cuisine from the hands of Shams. He pulled the plate in such a way that Shams bumped a little into the envoy of Shuman. He crossed the way but to his astonishment, Insha was not there. The envoy of Shuman looked at the castle carefully. Now he was looking at the Arabian girl. Then the envoy left the banquet hall. He winked the Arabian girl. But to his bad luck! The Arabian girl winked twice.

(It was time to hit the plan and look for clues. But the clue was the hand of Insha. Sigh! The hands that were hiding the marks of the phoenix to unveil the protectors! )

"Who on earth is he to look at the lady so fondly ?" Shams mumbled. He just saw flirting of the envoy of Shuman with a girl. He wanted to beat this brat. But then he controlled himself.

(Man always acts on wits. The book and its cover may live in harmony but can't be the same. How can a thin cover feel what the book was hiding in its heart? Yeah! the mind! it could only get the gist of the book)

Insha came and saw Shams roaming around his seat. "What happened?" Insha asked."I think I got bad flavor food today." Shams said and Insha smiled. "Don't tell me that you get the love-sickness. Time is still there. If you want me. I can be a branch connecting two streams. " Insha then looked at Shams. She could see the lights Shams was showing. Insha came with a cup of special tea. Insha held him and said,

" If you don't mind. Kindly give this to the envoy of Shuman. " Insha asked Shams by turning her eyes round.

"Me, But why ?" Shams tried to make his eyes round. He tried to mimic Insha. Her highness Insha kicked his leg.

"Copycat, I would tell uncle your secret." Insha was saying but Shams put hands on her mouth."I am on your orders mam. I would give this to that envoy. If you have any other orders you can tell this stinky brat. " Shams frowned while saying it.

(That wretched cat made him serve the tea to his most unpleasant guest. If he was an uncouth person, he was gonna splash tea on his head.)

It was such a displeasing manner. His highness Shams placed the tea and then summoned a servant to call for the envoy of Shuman who had left the banquet hall.

"It looks like... that envoy had considered this castle as the castle of Shuman. Hunh. Let me give this brat a lesson first. Shams sprinkled the foul stomach medicine in his tea. " He sprinkled the medicine in such a way that no one could see it. He then went back to Insha. Shams shrugged and then whispered in Insha's ears.

"If you did not stop blabbering I would go to Ali and would say you served the tea to that envoy. " Shams said while the thing he mentioned was enough for her to look at the envoy of Shuman and then Ali.

(It was a tradition there. Girls don't involve themselves with political affairs and envoys.)

Insha then ignored him thinking that the people of Shuman were always capricious. But this Shams! How can he think of such ideas? Sigh!

She ignored Shams and went away. She moved aside to look for her personal maid Jini. But she was absent for days...

"What could she be doing these past few days ?" Insha thought. Then Shams picked up the cake from the side table of Insha. The envoy of Shuman came back. He was sitting on the faraway table. Seeing Shams breaking his plan...He wanted to take this brat out. The envoy clenched his hands.

A few hours ago

Natalia paid the old lady to mix a strange thing in the cup of Insha. She wanted to feed Insha a slow poison.

"How are you, Aro ?" Natalia the old lady that had been living in the castle for 55 years.

"I am doing well but," Aro said something strange to Natalia.

" I bet the truth will be told one day. But I will be gone by then ..I want to see this pleasant view today. " Natalia then paid Aro 2 bags of silver coins.

"1 was enough but since you had given..you could give me 2 more. " Aro said. Natalia smirked.

" I knew something must be going on there. '' Natalia patted her head. Then she pushed her head towards herself. She tightened her grip around her. Aro shrieked a little.

"I had always been an obedient slave, your highness. I know about your plans ." Aro threatened Natalia. Natalia then sat backward and Aro sat down beside her chair. Natalia drank a glass of juice that Aro had brought for Natalia.

"Since we both are the passengers of the same boat..You better keep your mouth shut. " Natalia then gave her a bag of gold coins. Aro's eyes were glittering like they were going to move out of her eyes. Greed was the worst enemy of man. But who knew?

"Take this medicine and sprinkle it in the teacup of Insha. " Natalia ordered Aro.

"On your command, your highness Natalia. " The old lady said and left. Natalia saw the empty glass of juice. Natalia thought that glass and her heart had the same appearance. Outside majestic but inside empty... She then sat down and tried to ponder over her future...The new plans and schemes.
